Is there a way to shut off the spray tool? I only want to use the pen tool but keep accidentally using it

Help

Any idea on how to turn it off, at least till I need it?

i think you can try to unbind it from shift b

Problem is, I don’t use the shortcut/shift+b

I just click on the brush

you cant just make it disapper to my knowladge, you will just have accostum yourself to click only once and not holding it

thought i do recommend start using shortcuts, at least the basic ones like
B - Pen
E - Eraser
G - Bucket Fill

Right now it’s not possible to customize the toolbox directly from the UI, but in the data/gui.xml file it’s possible to comment you the spray tool:

    <group id="pencil_tools">
      <tool id="pencil"
            text="@.pencil"
            ink="paint"
            controller="freehand"
            pointshape="brush"
            intertwine="as_lines"
            tracepolicy="accumulate" />
      <!--tool id="spray"
            text="@.spray"
            ink="paint"
            controller="freehand"
            pointshape="spray"
            tracepolicy="overlap" /-->
    </group>

It’s just a hack, but might work for your case.
